Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just smuggled himself out of Nazi-invaded Prague and landed in New York City. His Brooklyn cousin Sammy Clay is looking for a partner to create heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit America the comic book. Inspired by their own fears and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the "Escapists," "The Monitor," and "Luna Moth," inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men. "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay "is the winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Underbar historia, underbart språk. En fantastisk reda med personer som begeistrar, och en research som imponerar.

Fantastisk - språket och berättelsen. Tog lång tid att läsa - inte det enklaste språket men somliga meningar så underfundigt bra att de måste läsas flera gånger.
